The 6.6-mile chain ran through the streets of the village, starting and ending in front of Schuyler County Court House. Permits from six government agencies are required for the closure of public roads for this event; State, County, Village, Reading, Dix and the New York State Parks Commission. It was also necessary to have permission from the New York Central Railroad to stop the trains during the race as the course crossed the tracks. The track was used for races from 1948 to 1952. Unchanged, it could be toured today as a public road. For those who were here in the early days, it is a sentimental journey. For those who have never been here, this is a lesson in the history of motorsport. The attractions listed below are also on our map of the original circuit.

The first spring NCRS activity this year was the Mason Dixon Chapter Meet at Adams Chevrolet in Havre de Grace, Maryland on Sunday, March 29th. Each yearr many of ou members volunteer to judge or just attend at this meet since it is less than an hour away for most of us and it is the first Corvette activity in the spring after a long cold winter. Everyone seems to be anxious to restart the Corvette season when March rolls around. Unfortunately it was unseasonably cold on March 29th. It was in the mid‐twenties at 7AM. The operations checks including cold starts were made particularly difficult because, believe me when I tell you, it was not comfortable. Furthermore, the parking lot was covered with many puddles of rain water from the previous day that had frozen solid overnight and it was very tough for the judges as well as the owners trying to navigate around the frozen puddles while going through operations checks. But once we gote insid where it was warm for actual flight judging it was very comfortable.

  • SRT Motorsports - 24 Hours of Le Mans - Tommy Kendall Diary - Entry 4
    Contact: Matthew Simmons Adam Saal Bill Klingbeil SRT Motorsports - 24 Hours of Le Mans - Tommy Kendall Diary - Entry 4 June 22, 2013, LE MANS, France - Tommy Kendall piloted the No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R this weekend in the 24 Hour of Le Mans. He teamed with Kuno Wittmer and Jonathan Bomarito to finish ninth in LM GTE Pro Class at the 81st running of the event. This is the last of a four-part series as Kendall gives a behind-the-scenes look at Le Mans through the driver’s eyes. We had a lot to learn this year coming to Le Mans with a new car, new team and all that. And I think a lot of us were hoping we would shock ‘em and have a trouble-free run to the podium with both cars (laughs). I guess that’s the eternal optimist in me. It didn’t quite work out like that but we’re going back with an infinite amount of information much more than we arrived with. Every single person in every single role has learned a lot and knows how to do it better next year. The race itself, there was no major-major problems but lots of little ones. While I was in the car, we had the one issue with the wets (tires) where we didn’t have intermediates so we had to run in the wets or slicks which were treacherous. Then at the end of my stint, we had a tire fail at the end of the backstraight, a puncture I’m assuming, right when I went to the brakes at 170-something miles per hour.
